Stuff that shouldn't be in the oil - depending on what has happened to the transformer, different particulates will be found. Gasing, internal arcing, insulation degredation, etc. will have different "fingerprints", or patterns of molecules in the oil. Oil analysis can be used to identify Transformers that are at risk of failure in the near future.

WHAT will happen if you run oil transformer with out oil?

As well as providing a cooling medium, transformer oil is also used to insulate a transformer. As its dielectric strength (how well it insulates) is much higher than air, it means that components within a transformer that are at different potentials can be placed much closer together if they are immersed in oil. So, operating an oil-filled transformer without oil will likely cause insulation breakdown within the transformer.
